    Answer:

    These words create the picture of the hive and honeybee humming all around. It is in the
    glade.

    Linnet is a bird with wings. When it flutters its wings, it looks beautiful. And when the bird
    sits on a tree amidst beautiful natural scene, it leaves an indelible impression on the minds
    of the beholder.

    It Is an ordinary but bewitching scene. The waves strike the lake’s shore to create a pleasing
    and soothing sound

    Q2.peace comes dropping slow Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket
    sings

    What do these words mean to you? What do you think “comes dropping slow … from the
    veils of the morning?” What does “to where the cricket sings” mean?

    Answer:

    These words mean that peace surrounds that area at dawn. The pleasing and melodious
    sound of cricket greets the morning. It adds sweetness to the serenity of the place.

    Question 1.

    When and where will the poet experience ‘peace’?

    Answer:

    The poet will experience ‘peace’ in the lap of nature at the Lake Isle of Innisfree. He will
    observe the beautiful trees, insects, birds and bushes. The calm and cool atmosphere of
    the forest will give happiness to him.

    Question 2.

    How does the poet describe the lake’s waves?

    Answer:
    The poet says that the lake’s waves hit its shore and create a low sound. It gives him
    aesthetic pleasure. He hears it and enjoys it. It also gives him solace and comforts. He
    finds his peace of mind.

    Question 3.

    Why does the poet want to go to Innisfree?

    Answer:

    The poet wants to go to Innisfree to enjoy its natural beauty. Its morning, noon and evening
    are different from the cities where high-rise buildings touch the sky. He hears the pleasing
    sound of birds and gets peace of mind.

    Question 4.

    Where is the poet standing? How is it different from Innisfree?

    Answer:

    The poet is standing on the roadway or on the pavements of grey colour. This colour
    epitomises decay. He compares that with the floral beauty of Innisfree. However, standing
    even there, he can hear the sounds of the lake water lapping by the shore. He hears it in the
    core of his heart.

    Question 5.

    What does the isle of Innisfree stand for the poet?

    Answer:

    The isle of Innisfree stands for unadulterated natural beauty. A visit to Innisfree gives
    immense joy, pleasure and peace to the poet. The sounds of honeybees, crickets and the
    lake water lapping by the shore tempt him to go there again and again. He will be contented
    with living in a small cabin and working at a small farm.

    Question 6.

    Is the poet’s going to Innisfree merely an attempt to escape from the harsh realities of city
    life?

    Answer:

    No doubt, Innisfree provides all what the poet yearns for. Even standing on the doorway or
    on the grey pavement of the city, he escapes to the natural world of the lake isle of
    Innisfree. The sounds of the birds and the lake water lapping by the shore echo in the core
    of his heart. This escapism gives him immense pleasure and peace.
